@ilyaskorik You need to keep in mind the whole Gnome Shell experience. Instead of opening Nautilus and go to Favourites, you would hit the Super Key and write the name of the favourite folder you want to open. It's a bit strange at first but you quickly get used to it.

@mrdoob But if you are already in nautilus and working on Files, there is a reason you have favorited certain directories... Its to access them quickly. For instance if I plugin my sdcard and want to do some move them to my Pictures folder that is favorited, I'm going to open nautilus and look through the pictures, and then move the ones I like into my favorite folder.

@ilyaskorik I agree, I don't bookmark something so I can type it in. I bookmark it so I don't have to remember where it is. There is no point of making a favorite if you are just going to be forced to search for it.
